| Description of the problem | My vehicle has 2 serious issues. The 1st is the gas/exhaust smell that is inside the cabin. This happens when i am driving for more than a few hours consistently. This tends to happen more when the outside temperatures are over 108 degrees. The 2nd issue is the vehicle does not always accelerate from a complete stop when the gas pedal is stepped on. The vehicle will roll into traffic a little bit and then 2-4 seconds pass and then it will go. It is very touch and go after it does this and it takes about 10 minutes for it to fully be "normal" i have had it at the dealership 2 times for these issues. They keep telling me nothing is wrong with the vehicle. I do not feel safe in this vehicle. Both issues happen without reason. It happens on city streets and highways. It happens with or without the "start/stop" system activated. It happens in hot and cold. I use premium gas like they told me i had to do. I do not top off when i get gas. It still continues to happen. |
